Exercise 39

The concentration of a normal urine specimen can be estimated by which of the following?

A. Color

B. Clarity

C. Foam

D. Odor

Step 1 of 2

Concentration of urine:

The urochrome is a pigment present in the urine, which causes yellow color to urine.

• The urochrome is excreted in urine and results in yellow color of urine.

• The dark yellow color of urine shows urine concentration.

• Color of urine is used to estimate the urine concentration.

Therefore, the “Color” of the urine estimates the concentration level of normal urine specimen. Hence, the correct answer is option.
